TR178.83.B351992
The Call Number on the spine of the book tells you where to find the bookon the shelves.
Library of Congress
Call Numbers
Academic Libraries usually use the Library of Congress Classification System, not the Dewey Decimal system.
TRThe first line is shelved in alphabetical order.On the library shelves you’d find books with the call number HA shelved before HB, TR wouldbe before TS, etc...178.83
The second line is a real number. You’dfind 1 before 2, and 178.83 before 178.9,etc...
TR178.83.B35
This line is both alphabetical and decimal. A number with .A-- would be found on the shelfbefore a number with .B--, B before C, etc….But don’t forget this is a decimal number, so.B35 would be found on the shelf after .B214and before .B4
1967This number is usually the date of the publication of the book. 1967 wouldbe found on the shelf before 1968, 1968 before 1969, etc...
